Yesterday was a busy afternoon. Emmaline and I headed to Evan's school to do the last "official" day of library cart. Next week is Evan's last week of school so that means no more library duty. I just had to check in all the books and then send notices home to those who still had books out. We want to make sure we get all the books back so we ended library a week earlier than school ends. It went pretty fast and Emmaline was a great little helper. She took the books out of the student's envelopes, I put the cards back in the book, and she put the books on the cart. Great teamwork we had. She was eager to start pushing the cart down the hallway to the classes, but I had to explain to her that we weren't doing that part this time. It's been a little hectic some weeks doing the library cart with Em in tow, but overall it's been fun. Seeing the kids eager to get books is just wonderful. Being able to spend some time at Evan's school too is also wonderful. I'll have to make another stop in next week to pull together a few odds and ends, but overall most of the library work is done.
After library duty we had parent teacher conferences. The week before I had been talking to Evan's teacher and she said she couldn't wait to talk to us about Evan. I took that as a good sign the way she said it. Then before school I asked Evan what Ms. Schulze was going to say about him and he responded, "It's definitely going to be good." Sure enough my feeling was right, and Evan's response was right. I couldn't have been more delighted when I walked out of there yesterday. Here's some of the things his teacher told us:
- He's kind, cooperative, respectful of others
- Follows the expectations of the teachers
- Positive attitude towards school
- Demonstrates pro-social behaviors
- Good listening skills
- Participates in singing & movement activities (Of course he does, my Evan is always singing)
- Writes his name and words other than his name
- Creative and imaginative
- Knows the sounds of letters
These were just some of the things. Last year in preschool Evan had a hard time wanting to be away from mom & dad. This year he's completely changed and loves being in school and is always going up to other kids asking them to play, making sure they have someone to play with. She also let us know he likes to help others if they need something and offers to give his toys to others if they want to play with it. He's been a real delight to have in class and she told us we've done a really good job with Evan. All nice things to hear. I'm very proud of you Evan, keep up the good work in all your school years!
